really random observation

Why is it that renewing my subscription to TV Guide for one year (57 issues) would cost $39.20, while purchasing a "new" subscription for 56 issues costs just $14?

Guess which option I picked.

Well, naturally! The "new" option is obviously meant to entice new customers. I guess TV Guide doesn't think current subscribers would be interested in bargain hunting. ;-)

TV Guide does not know me. Anytime I go to buy something, I do a quick check to see if I can get it cheaper elsewhere. And I don't like to get cheated. I wouldn't have renewed at $39, but $14 is a good price.

"TV Guide does not know me."

This sounds like it should be an outraged battle cry: "TV Guide does not know me!!" *dramatic fist pump*
